San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula said today that the team would indeed hold today's practice at Levi's Stadium.
During last night's practice in front of fans, the media noticed numerous issues with the field sod. Of course, the issue also occurred early last season, with the field needing to be replaced just before a preseason game. The issue was so bad that a practice was stopped by then head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Today's practice, while open to the media, is closed to fans. It is scheduled to begin at 4:15 PM. The team's next fan accessible practice will be on August 9.

49ers impressed with Isaiah Oliver vs. Rams: "He was a stud today"
Some wondered what the San Francisco 49ers saw in Isaiah Oliver, signing the cornerback to a two-year deal in free agency with the hope that he could take over the vacant nickel spot. Oliver didn't look overly impressive in training camp or the preseason.
On Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, Oliver may have proved his critics wrong. The veteran cornerback was everywhere on the football field, making game-changing plays and helping the 49ers to a 30-23 win.
Oliver finished with three tackles, four assists, a pass defensed, and an interception.
"Just kind of go get the ball in the air," Oliver said of the interception while speaking with team reporter Lindsey Pallares
49ers' Arik Armstead on Drake Jackson's growth: "I'm a proud vet today"
One San Francisco 49ers veteran expressed his recognition of Drake Jackson's growth. The second-year defensive end tallied three sacks on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, matching his total for all of last season. Jackson's emergence creates a formidable challenge for opposing offenses who now have to deal with him and Nick Bosa on the edges.
Javon Hargrave, this year's prize free-agent addition, and savvy veteran Arik Armstead are in the middle. The latter spoke highly of Jackson's progress, the result of hard offseason work.
"Man, I'm a proud vet today," Armstead said on his new "Third and Long" podcast. "Drake Jackson, year two, man, this kid is extremely talented. He worked extremely hard this offseason to prepare himself for this season, and it's
49ers Notebook: Deebo is no longer "awful"; Ronnie Bell makes a splash; J.J. Watt praises Niners; Captain Andrew Luck makes Levi's cameo
Thursday night was a fun one at Levi's Stadium, where the San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-12 victory over the visiting New York Giants. It was a night that saw wide receiver Deebo Samuel declare himself as officially out of "awful" mode, running back Christian McCaffrey reach milestones, wide receiver Ronnie Bell create some lasting memories, and -- of all things -- Andrew Luck making a return to an NFL field (in full Civil War costume) to take part in a game of trivia.
Let's recap all that and more in this version of 49ers Notebook.
Not awful anymore
Back in June, Deebo Samuel caught some attention with his honest description of his 2022 performance
